i can't figure out how to aim the lightning guns but the lightning shotgun and smg seem good with laser brains. the lightning rife seems bad tho.

you don't really aim the lightning guns. i don't know if it still works but you used to be able to use the lighting cannon with eyes' ultra and it would last forever as long as you never touched a wall with it

anyway i'll use the lightning pistol early on because it's not awful, especially with steroids, but the rest are 👎

except the lightning hammer which is a contender for best weapon in the game

no you just need to destroy the four generators in the throne room before destroying the throne. you should get the crown of curses anyway because unlike the rest of the crowns Curses is actually good

and you have to wait for generators to power up before they can be destroyed i learned

they're not really powerups so much as a "this will gently caress your life up" option

curses and blood are the only good ones. actually risk is okay on a melting b run because you're either getting the benefit or you're dead

Crown of Guns seems like it'd synergize well with robot but I've never survived long enough with it to know for sure

I love the Haste crown, because by the time I get it I'm killing stuff so fast that it's just a bonus to ammo and health drops.

It's literally kept me alive because of that when combined with the plutonium hunger and the more pickups mutation, I killed stuff so fast that I'd just pick up more ammo and health right before I ran out or died

I'll take the no ammo more guns one with robot , esp if i have his throne butt and/or the generate ammo on kills perk. But i'm not very good at the game . Pickups fade faster/give more seems worth it if you have the wider pickup radius perk too

Blood, curses and haste are great, but explosions is also good.

the haste one seems okay if you have the long range grabber mutation but otherwise i never pick them up except sometimes curses

what's the point of the box where you can stash a weapon in the 2nd crown room?

oddium
Feb 21, 2006

it carries over between runs, so you can keep a super crossbow or something there if you find one but roll awful mutations.

BUT ALSO if you hit ball mama (sewers loop boss) with a golden weapon she'll drop the frog pistol, which becomes the golden frog pistol if you put it in the proto chest and retrieve it with a different character. the golden frog pistol starts you as Frog

i gave it to fish because it makes the most sense i think

Crown of Death (one of the post-loop crowns) is really good if you are doing a Burning Veins build

He;s probably my fave to play but only if i get a really specific set of mutations. Like throne butt, burning veins and some good explosive weapons.

I kinda wish you could reliably pick skeleton and frog from the start, especially the former (i know you technically can with the latter)
reliably getting melting that far through the game is pretty dicey

best combo with melting is throne butt + impact wrists though, every stage becomes a horrible mosh pit

i've been trying this and i swear Rhino Skin gets extremely rare when you play as Melting. i only got it as a mutation on my 10th or 11th run. maybe i just had really bad luck but it was weird af.

Maybe you should try playing as Melting, instead of as a freaking noob lmao.

You have to keep moving. Little Hunter wants to trick you into trying to hide, so you wind up trapped.
